FRENCH CAMP - The San Joaquin County Coroner's Office has identified three men who recently died in vehicle accidents in various parts of the county.

The man who was killed Aug. 7 when he was hit by a car in north Stockton was 69-year-old Tonchietinh Saechao, authorities said. The man was apparently trying to cross eight lanes of traffic on busy East Hammer Lane, far from any crosswalk, police said. The driver of the vehicle cooperated with investigators and was not arrested, authorities said.

The motorcyclist who died Aug. 6 after colliding with a big-rig truck in Manteca was Scott Corley, 28. Corley was traveling west on the connector ramp from northbound Highway 99 to westbound Highway 120 when the collision occurred. According to the California Highway Patrol, Corley drove onto the right-side dirt shoulder in an attempt to pass the truck. Investigators believe he crashed while trying to avoid a guardrail and was run over by the truck.

The man who died July 26 in crash at North Ham Lane and West Turner Road in Lodi was 34-year-old Daniel Yoder, the Coroner's Office said. The Lodi Police Department said Yoder smashed into an electrical box moments after leaving the scene of a dispute in the 600 block of West Turner Road.

VALLECITO - The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection asked people in Angels Camp and Vallecito to be vigilant of fire resources Saturday as crews continued to battle a blaze near Parrots Ferry and Camp 9 roads.

Fire crews had zero-percent containment of a fire that started shortly after 10 a.m. Saturday and had burned about 60 acres by 4 p.m., Cal Fire said. The cause of the fire is under investigation, officials said.

Cal Fire reported that access was limited because of steep, rocky terrain, brush and rugged vegetation. There was also concern about rising temperatures and windy afternoon conditions, Cal Fire said.

Cooperating agencies included the Altaville Melones Fire Protection District, the Murphys Fire District and the Stanislaus National Forest. There were 12 engines, five fire crews, two airtankers, two bulldozers, two water tenders, one helicopter and 150 personnel assigned to fight the fire, Cal Fire said.

STOCKTON - A 41-year-old man was driving in south Stockton on Friday evening when three men got out of another vehicle and began shooting at him, police said.

The victim was driving near East 8th and South Phelps streets about 7:25 p.m. when a black four-door Honda Civic stopped in front of him in an intersection, officers said.

The driver and front passenger exited their vehicle and approached the victim while a third person remained in the Civic.

All three assailants then began firing at the victim, whose vehicle was struck a number of times. No one was hurt, authorities said.

The shooters were described as men in their 20s, one wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt, one wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and the third wearing a black coat, police said.
